Daily Desktop

Modular Windows desktop wallpaper updater that works daily at a set time. Wallpapers are provided by IProvider classes that are implemented in DLL modules. For example, look at /DailyDesktop.Providers.MTG/, which takes wallpaper from the official Wizards of the Coast website for Magic: The Gathering wallpaper.

This program is based on a previous C# program I wrote that only worked specifically for Magic: The Gathering, and was not remotely user-friendly. The original idea is based off of KDE Plasma's daily wallpaper addon/plugin where options included Bing, Wikimedia Commons, and National Geographic.

Developing a Provider Module

To develop your own Daily Desktop provider modules, use the NuGet package:

PackageManager: Install-Package goodtrailer.DailyDesktop.Core
dotnet: dotnet add package goodtrailer.DailyDesktop.Core

Then, implement the IProvider interface in a public class. For examples, check these providers I already implemented.

Debugging

Wallpapers are actually downloaded/applied by DailyDesktop.Task. To debug a provider module, build and run DailyDesktop.Task in Debug mode and pass it the arguments "path\to\provider.dll" --json "path\to\info-output.json" --blur 40. The --blur 40 is optional and the value can be changed between 0 to 100. Arguments can be passed through DailyDesktop.Task > Properties > Debug in Visual Studio.
